pimp_my_lock's Issues

Pimp my lock will soon be recreated in a better version !
If you have any ideas of features you want in the new version, please put it in this issue !
If you want to contribute to the new version, do not hesitate to say hi in comments ! :)

Here are some of them :

✅ Clean the code
✅ Invert width and height to be consistent with the resolution given in the settings.
✅ To be able to give position and size using percents or keyword (center, left, etc), instead of raw pixels
Add a way to put other medias (network stream, gif, etc)
To be able to see the password field through Pimp my Lock
❌ To be able to add multiple videos ? (Chosen randomly ? Give a folder and the program choose automatically ?)
❌ (42Paris only) : More portable way to click every second on the window (clean the folder architecture to avoid confusion ?)
✅ Do something if VLC is not installed (install manually of something like this ?)
❌ To be able to link an application to pimp my lock instead of vlc (be careful about danger of this)
✅ Hide vlc logs, handle errors => Do something prettier
✅ To be able to put only one value for size and use ratio of media to guess size (Zoom value ? width/height ?)
❌ (42Paris) Mute computer when starting pimp_my_lock to avoid noisy sounds in clusters
✅ Use transparent videos ?

(✅: Done, ❌: Dropped out)

Is there a way for the new lock screens?

42 Paris gradually changes ft_lock by a new lock called dm-tool lock. I tried changing the bash to try to make it compatible but it seems harder than I think.
